Factory construction
Su Qinxuan: “…”
Five minutes later, she finally let go of all her worries. The corner of her mouth twitched, and her tone was a little bad: "So... this is not blood at all, just a pile of ketchup?"
Jian Jianan was a very perceptive person. He immediately sensed something was wrong in his mother's tone and added righteously, "No, Mom, to be precise, this isn't just ketchup. It's a mixture of ketchup, vitamins, and various syrups."
Su Qinxuan was so angry that she laughed. She asked back bluntly, "So, according to you, I rushed back in such a hurry and showed such concern for you. Or am I just making a big deal out of nothing? Is my eyesight not good?"
Jian Jianan said cautiously, "No, no, no, of course not! Mom treats me like this out of pure concern for me. Only a mother's love for her daughter could blind her eyes..."
Jian Jianan couldn't continue. The more she spoke, the worse Su Qinxuan's expression became. She simply closed her eyes, pointed at Jian Jiabei, and shouted, "It was him! He taught me everything!"
Trying to divert the blame.
Jian Jiabei couldn't believe his sister's betrayal. Seeing his mother's eagle eyes glaring at him, he quickly clutched his head and cried out in disbelief, "I! Didn't! Do it!"
Jian Jiabei cried out loudly for his injustice, and finally dug out some small details from the long river of memory and figured out the cause and effect.
"I remember now! I know! I handled a case before, and the suspect used this method to deceive us police officers at first glance."
Jian Jiabei intentionally blurred the details of the case and did not tell his sister all the information about the case. He only told her about the method the suspect used to create bloodstains that were so realistic that they could be mistaken for real ones, and told her about it as a funny thing.
Who would have known that his sister had quietly memorized these words in her heart and even put them into practice in real life!
Jian Jiabei stopped talking, he was speechless.
It seems that my sister hasn't changed at all since she was a child. She notices every detail and applies it to her life.
Okay, now that everything has been said, everyone calmed down after knowing that Jian Jianan was not really injured.
Huang Haiyan continued to speak sarcastically, "Our young President Jian is truly decisive and a business genius! We've been agonizing over this problem for a week, and you just went over and spilled a few drops of fake blood, and it solved it?"
Jian Jianan knew he was in the wrong and did not refute.
It's no wonder Huang Haiyan reacted like this. She was really too worried that Jian Jianan was injured. She had just shed a few tears in front of her.
As a result, her boss didn’t even tell Huang Haiyan before implementing this plan!
What a waste of my true love!
Jian Jianan sincerely apologized to Huang Haiyan: "Haiyan, I really didn't intend to do this before I got off the car. My brother told me about the blood bag before, and I was interested in trying it myself. Then I put it in a corner of the car and never took it out."
"When the car just stopped, I saw those people holding knives behind me, so I thought of this idea at that moment."
She pulled Huang Haiyan's sleeve and said, "So, Haiyan, please don't be angry!"
Huang Haiyan was not a heartless person to begin with, and now that Jian Jianan was acting like a spoiled child, she could no longer resist.
After Jian Jianan spoke softly to Huang Haiyan, she had no choice but to raise her hands in surrender, unable to maintain her previous cold and serious look any longer.
But she had to pretend to be ferocious and serious, and said to Jian Jianan fiercely: "This matter is not over. Don't think that my smile at you means that this matter is over. If there is a next time, I will definitely make you pay!"
She grew increasingly angry as she spoke, even reaching out to poke Jian Jianan's arm twice. Of course, she only pokes lightly, not touching the skin. Although she already knew that the bloodstains on Jian Jianan's arm were fake, it was still heartbreaking to see the bright red.
Jian Jianan tried his best. He first used a trick to divert the blame to appease his mother Su Qinxuan, and then he went to act coquettishly with Huang Haiyan and promised that he would never do that again.
His family was so difficult to appease, and for a moment Jian Jianan regretted his little trick. It was too arbitrary and risky! If he had known earlier, he would have slowly found a way to deal with the troublemaker instead of taking such a risky move.
Finally, Jian Jianan mysteriously took out a box of Gaodian and handed it to his brother in a flattering manner, whose mouth could be covered with soy sauce even if he pouted it high.
Seeing his expression gradually soften, Jian Jianan quickly handed the exquisite gift box of bowl-shaped cakes from the kitchen to his brother Jian Jiabei, and at the same time, he did not forget to take credit: "Brother, brother! Look! Although I was injured, I haven't forgotten what you like to eat. There is a family in the small mountainous area near our food processing factory who are particularly good at making bowl-shaped cakes. I tried it and it's very delicious. I'm sure you will like it too!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Jiabei angrily said, "Are you still trying to be nice by saying you're injured? Everyone knows you're not injured at all!"
Having said that, Jian Jiabei finally took the box of bowl cake from his sister.
It’s really not easy for Jian Jianan to come and give him a gift. He must savor this box of bowl cake!
I originally thought that this matter would end here. From this period on, Jian Jianan could go to the study to look at his documents and make good arrangements for the follow-up matters of those troublemakers. The project also had to resume tomorrow to catch up with the progress...
But just as she was thinking about these plans, a phone call - a call from the other side of the ocean disrupted all her plans.
Who else could it be besides Shan Jiqing?
Jian Jianan couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She had coaxed all the relatives and friends around her, but how could she forget about her boyfriend who was thousands of miles away from her?
"Nannan, I'm glad you're okay..."
As soon as the phone was connected, what came out was not Shan Jiqing's accusation, nor the fierce words full of worry and excitement, but a long sigh. Although the tone was very calm, anyone with ears could hear the deep worry of the owner of the voice.
"I, I'm fine..."
Faced with such a Shan Jiqing, Jian Jianan didn't know what to say.
"I'm really fine. That bag of blood was a prop, not my real blood. I just wanted to scare those people..."
Jian Jianan has always been a person who only reports good news and not bad news. Besides, Shan Jiqing is already hard enough studying and doing experiments abroad, so she would not bother her boyfriend with these things.
Every week, during the precious phone time for young couples to communicate their feelings, Jian Jianan would only share some fun and interesting things with Shan Jiqing. Even at the critical moment of the life and death of Nanjia Capital, Jian Jianan did not convey these nervous and angry emotions to Shan Jiqing.
The reason he knew what happened today was definitely because one of Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping told him. Jian Jianan intuitively thought it was his father Jian Yangping!
Jian Jianan repeatedly emphasized that she was fine, she was doing well, and there was no need for Shan Jiqing to worry about her.
She had finished her shower long ago and was now sitting at the desk in her warm home clothes, making the bloodstains from the props on her arms even less visible.
But Shan Jiqing was still not at all reassured.
"That's not what you're saying. How can I be at ease before I actually see you with my own eyes and touch you?"
The words were full of bitterness, and Jian Jianan's heart was wrenched when he heard them.
Yes, although the two of them have confirmed their relationship, they are not in the same city or even the same country after all. Not to mention that Shan Jiqing worries about Jian Jianan every day, doesn't Jian Jianan also miss Shan Jiqing every day?
Shan Jiqing organized his words on the other end of the phone and spoke slowly, word by word, with no ups and downs in his tone.
"Nannan, we grew up together, and I know your character. You won't give up until you achieve your goal, but I want to ask you, please consider me when you make plans..."
At this point, Shan Jiqing paused and said, "We haven't seen each other for a year."
Jian Jianan also sighed with emotion: "Yes, yes, it's been a long time since we last met."
Originally, Shan Jiqing was supposed to come back this summer, but he was delayed by an experiment. After he finished the experiment and submitted the third version of the report, there were only three or four days left in the summer vacation.
Who was Shan Jiqing? He was Jian Jianan's beloved husband! Even if he only had three or four days, he would definitely take a plane for dozens of hours to return to China to meet Jian Jianan.
But this time, the person who had no conditions to meet her boyfriend became Jian Jianan.
She had a business deal to discuss, and it happened that during that period, she had to go into the mountains to inspect various start-up companies and had no time to meet Shan Jiqing.
The two of them always have such a strange mix of things.
They had been childhood sweethearts for nearly ten years. During that time, they had always been close to each other and had never been apart for a long time. Not seeing each other during the winter and summer vacations was already the limit.
However, after they grew up and confirmed their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, the situation quietly changed. Although Shan Jiqing had a formal status and became Jian Jianan's publicly acknowledged boyfriend, the two of them were rarely together. At least Shan Jiqing made a statistical table and found that after growing up, the number of days he could spend with Jian Jianan each year was reduced by more than 50% compared to when he was a child.
In the most recent year, the year-on-year decrease has reached 100%!
They haven't seen each other for almost a year!
Shan Jiqing calmed himself down, and the voice on the other end of the phone softened slightly.
"You have no idea how long I've been looking forward to our meeting. I even made a countdown, waiting to see you next New Year."
"I really don't want to, I really don't want to meet you and see you with missing arms and legs."
Shan Jiqing finally said the most important words he wanted to say to Jian Jianan on the phone tonight.
"Of course, I'm not saying it's bad if you do that. It's just that in my mind, you've always been a lively little sun, full of vitality. I really don't want to see you fade away."
Jian Jianan quickly defended himself: "No, no, you're exaggerating! How could I be missing arms and legs? I've always taken good care of myself!"
She almost pointed her finger at the sky and swore in the room, but when she thought that Shan Jiqing couldn't see her swearing at all, she could only put her finger down dejectedly.
"I have everything planned, don't worry!"
Jian Jianan repeated what he had said countless times to his friends and family: "I've long guessed who hired these troublemakers, and I wouldn't really risk my life. Besides, when I was in the car, I glanced through the window and saw that the tall man with the knife seemed to think his knife was dirty, so he wiped it on his arm. The sharp-looking blade was clearly pointed at me, but the owner wasn't hurt at all! That's why I came up with this idea."
"Then can you promise that you will never take such risks again and never put yourself in danger?"
It must be said that Shan Jiqing is really one of the people who knows Jian Jianan best.
He understood Jian Jianan's character. This accident was just a false alarm. It was not as serious as a knife wound that caused skin breakage and bleeding.
But everyone is still worried. It's okay this time, but what about next time? What about the next time after that?
Since Jian Jianan has decided to develop her career in the business world, she will definitely experience things like today countless times. As her business grows bigger and bigger, who knows how many competitors will try to trip her up behind her back or even openly.
If that day really comes and Jian Jianan wants to repeat his old tricks, will he still be as lucky as he is today?
Could it be just a fake accident with no blood involved? Could he still be standing in front of his parents like this, full of energy? Could he still be talking to me on the phone with such a guilty conscience?
After Jian Jianan finished the call, he held his breath and waited for Shan Jiqing's reply. Who knew that Shan Jiqing stopped talking on the other end, and instead a rustling sound was heard.
"Xiaoqing! Xiaoqing, are you crying?"
Oh my god, this is truly a once-in-a-millennium event. Shan Jiqing is actually crying?!
Jian Jianan almost couldn't believe her ears, but the trembling sound, the sound of sniffing, and the sound of crumpling tissues coming from the other end of the phone clearly told Jian Jianan that it was not her auditory hallucination, all of this was real.
"Stop crying, stop crying!"
Jian Jianan was crying so hard that her heart was broken.
Jian Jianan tried to comfort Shan Jiqing on the other end of the phone for a while, and he didn't know how many nice things he said before he finally made Shan Jiqing stop crying.
"...So, you understand how I feel, right? Even if it's only one ten-thousandth of what I feel."
"I understand, I understand! I really understand. Don't be sad, don't cry!"
Shan Jiqing was not injured, he just cried a little on the other end of the phone. Jian Jianan surrendered immediately, his heart broken. He wanted to signal Huang Haiyan to book a plane ticket to fly to his boyfriend.
If we put ourselves in his shoes, wouldn't Jian Jianan's big mistake today that caused a false alarm make Shan Jiqing even more worried?
"I understand what you mean..." Jian Jianan said blankly, his voice muffled and awkward.
"I will take good care of my body in the future and won't do such things again."
Shan Jiqing was very satisfied. If he had known that his crying would have such a good effect, he would have cried a long time ago!
He patiently advised, "Nannan, you have to understand that we can never make enough money, and we can never stop fighting bad guys. But our bodies are expendable. If you want to continue to achieve your goal of changing the world, you must protect your revolutionary capital, take care of your health, and avoid being harmed by others."
Jian Jianan said "hmm" several times, and promised again and again that he would really change his adventurous habit. Only then did Shan Jiqing stop dwelling on this issue and his crying gradually stopped.
The two of them finally had this opportunity to talk on the phone, so of course they had to talk to the fullest.
They started chatting sweetly with each other again, talking about interesting things that happened in their lives and asking each other about any difficulties they had. The next five or six hours were spent in the sweet whispers of the young couple.
"Goodbye, Nannan."
"goodbye."
A second before hanging up the phone, Jian Jianan said very solemnly: "I will take care of myself, and you too!"
After hanging up the phone, Jian Jianan couldn't fall asleep no matter what. She tossed and turned in bed for several hours, unable to rest, as if her boyfriend's pitiful crying was still lingering in her ears.
No! I can't sleep tonight!
She sat up with a thud, hugging the quilt. Forget it, since she couldn't sleep anyway, she might as well sit up and go to work!
The culprit Chen Anguo, you are dead!
"Ahhhh"
"Ah cut! Ah cut! Ah cut!"
Chen Anguo sneezed once at first, and then he couldn't stop. He sneezed dozens of times in a row, shaking his head like a washing machine.
After a long while, the movement gradually stopped.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
Son Chen Chen looked at his father with a worried look on his face.
Chen Anguo waved his hand and said nothing seriously: "It's okay, it's okay. Your dad is in good health. How could there be any problem?"
He didn't seem to be comforted by his son's concern at all, and said coldly, "Instead of pretending to care about an old man like me, you should spend more time on the operation and management of Jinhuiju. Without Jinhuiju, Su Qinxuan still has the Nanbei Hotel as a fallback, but we have no way out. We have to hold on to Jinhuiju."
Chen Chen nodded nervously and subconsciously stood at attention, his arms hanging quietly at his sides, sweating on his head from the stress.
"Okay, Dad! I will definitely..."
Chen Anguo glanced at his son and wanted to say something else, "You..."
You just need to keep a low profile during this period. I have made all the arrangements. The factory in Jian Jianan will definitely not be built!
With a bang, the door was opened.
The young assistant walked in with a panicked look on his face.
"Oh no, oh no!"
"The gang we were looking for has been arrested and is now in jail!"
What!
The bad news isn’t over yet!
The assistant continued, "Besides, construction has resumed at Haokoufu today! The construction team said it will definitely be completed within this month!"
"What!"
Chen Anguo's eyes were bloodshot.
how so!
While the Haokoufu Food Processing Factory was constantly being built, Jian Jianan was not idle either. She was fighting wits and courage with Chen Anguo every day.
Whenever Chen Anguo wanted to do something in the Nanbei Group, he would be stopped by her.
For example, today, when Chen Anguo wanted to mention his son’s position in Jinhuiju, Jian Jianan was the first to object.
It would be better to say that he wanted some important documents, and the people who were obviously on Su Qinxuan's side would send it back and go through it again on the grounds that "the procedures were not in compliance with regulations."
I have to recognize Su Qinxuan's signature.
Chen Anguo was suddenly targeted by so many people from all directions, even a person with a strong body could not sit still!
Not to mention that what he has always been proud of is his face and his good network of friends from all over the world!
When Jian Jianan heard Huang Haiyan say that Chen Anguo had been in a state of anxiety recently, he snorted coldly: "Oh, he got it easy!"
She couldn't even handle such a small thing, and she thought Chen Anguo was so capable!
He even hired people to cause trouble.
If you don’t have the mental quality to do business, you’d better go home and plant sweet potatoes as soon as possible!
Huang Haiyan was very happy: "I heard that Chen Anguo and his son are putting a lot of effort into getting the people they hired out of jail! They don't even have time to do the daily operations of the group, they are completely focused on getting them out."
Jian Jianan nodded. She had expected this. "But it's true. Chen Anguo was hired behind the scenes. Now that the troublemaker has been arrested, it would be bad if someone gave up his name."
While Chen Anguo and his gang are too busy to cause trouble for us, we must quickly build the food processing plant.
I finally understand why my mother came to me for help. Chen Anguo and his people are such a cancer!
We must find an opportunity to eliminate this group of people so that the North-South Group can continue to develop healthily.
Otherwise, Su Qinxuan's decades of hard work would be destroyed.
***
Three months later, a brand new factory was built on the land in the suburbs.
Jian Jianan attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony with the project manager, Huang Haiyan, Su Qinxuan and several managers of the Nanbei Group. In the group photo, everyone's face was full of pride and they had unlimited prospects for the new business.
Chen Anguo and his son did not attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, citing lack of time. However, Jian Jianan heard that they had gone to the detention center yesterday accompanied by their lawyer.
It's really strange. He doesn't have time to attend important group events, but he has time to visit people who are not relatives or friends in prison!
Jian Jianan had no intention of breaking up now. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, she walked into the factory. Su Qinxuan, who had taken time out of her busy schedule to come over, smiled and asked her daughter, "The factory is well built. How is it, Nannan? When are you planning to develop new products?"
"Tomorrow? Or after the weekend?"
Su Qinxuan instinctively knew that her daughter, being a workaholic, would start working within the next hour.
Jian Jianan grinned: "Developing new products?"
She stretched out her finger and shook it, then said mysteriously, "No, no, no, we won't be developing new products next."
Staring at her mother's curious eyes, she slowly said, "Because, our new product has already been developed!"
What!
At the same time, Huang Haiyan, who had walked ahead of them, suddenly opened the door and said to Su Qinxuan with a smile, "Mr. Su, please come and visit!"
Su Qinxuan was surprised. She changed into shoe covers and went in with various sterilization equipment, only to find that it was a room dominated by white, which was no different from the food-grade factories she had visited.
The only difference is that the finished products are placed on the production table, which look appetizing and are waiting for people to taste them!
Jian Jianan said with a smile: "While we were battling wits and courage with Chen Anguo, we didn't forget to do serious things! Bickering with him is just a small change in life. Our business is more important!"
She wrinkled her nose, as if she was very unhappy that her mother thought she only knew how to compete with Chen Anguo.
"I don't waste time on such trivial matters! In fact, even before I got injured, Haiyan and I were looking for experienced craftsmen to develop new products."
After going through untold hardships, their food processing plant is finally going to be built.
Although it has been built, it only means that the project has come to an end. It does not mean that everything is fine and there is nothing to worry about.
The research and development of new products is imminent, and they desperately need a first product that can shock the market. This product must make a brilliant debut and become an instant hit.
This is the only way to build the reputation of their Haokoufu Food Processing Factory.
"Please."
Jian Jianan made an inviting gesture to his mother in a charming manner, "Try it, Mom. This is all made by experienced chefs."
The first product Jian Jianan chose was mooncakes.
Mooncakes are no longer a rare food on the Chinese dinner table.
In the past when food was scarce, let alone mooncakes, an ordinary family was considered to have a good life if they could have three meals a day.
However, since the reform and opening up, stimulated by various policies, all areas of society have achieved sufficient growth and people's living standards have gradually improved.
Not only are we slowly saying goodbye to the days of hunger, but the variety of food on the table has also increased, with meat, eggs, and milk no longer rare.
Similarly, foods that are highly seasonal, such as mooncakes, would not appear on the tables of ordinary people except on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Nowadays, people can get almost anything they want to eat as long as they have money.
Even if you want to eat mooncakes every day, it’s up to you!
Su Qinxuan picked up a mooncake and put it in her mouth. It was the most classic Cantonese-style Huang Rong filling. It had just been taken out of the oven by the master chef. It was still hot, and the dough was shining with warm oil!
Su Qinxuan took a small bite and then said "Huh", feeling a little surprised.
“What else is added here?”
“It’s salted egg yolk!”
Jian Jianan told Su Qinxuan, "This is the work of the master craftsman we hired at a high price. He said that adding salted egg yolks to lotus seed paste mooncakes is a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation in his family."
"When I heard about it, I immediately asked the chef to make it for me. I was amazed at how delicious it was. The freshly baked Cantonese lotus seed paste filling was delicious enough, but adding the salted egg yolk made it even more moist, fragrant and delicious!"
Jian Jianan recalled the taste of his first time and praised it highly.
I wanted to reach out and grab a new piece to try, but ended up touching nothing.
When I looked closely, I found that my mother Su Qinxuan had eaten all the food while I was explaining, and there was not a single one left.
Well, that's great.
Although he didn't get to try the delicious food, Jian Jianan was smiling all the same.
My mother Su Qinxuan is a person who has high pursuit of food. That is why she was able to develop a small tricycle stall into a large-scale catering group with her excellent skills when she was still in a humble situation.
After so many years of development, she has become a well-known gourmet. This is not an exaggeration, nor is it just flattery.
Su Qinxuan does have a unique talent in this area. Any delicacy she praises will eventually be favored by consumers and verified by the market.
Now, Jian Jianan looked at the satisfied look on his mother's face and thought optimistically, "It seems that Mom really likes this mooncake. It's worth their great efforts to improve it again and again, and finally confirmed this final version."
Thinking of this, Jian Jianan quickly took the freshly baked mooncakes of other flavors from the master, and said to Su Qinxuan enthusiastically and somewhat flatteringly, "Come on, Mom, this plate is all new flavors, come and try it!"
If Su Qinxuan tries them all and feels that there is no problem, they will use this taste as the standard and start large-scale production.
After tasting them one by one, Su Qinxuan slowly expressed his opinions on the mooncakes he had eaten.
"Well, generally speaking, most of it is pretty good, but there are a few points I think could be improved."
"This, this, and that, it's better to reduce the sugar content a little."
"Um, no!"
She raised her eyebrows and turned her head in her daughter's direction.
"Can you tell me what you really think?"
"The sweet mooncakes aren't even ready yet, and you're already thinking about making savory ones. Isn't that like thinking about running before you even learn to walk?"
Facing his mother's cold stare, Jian Jianan defended himself, "Mom, you might not know this, but salty mooncakes are very popular in other places! You might not be used to them, but Shanghainese, for example, really love fresh meat mooncakes, and many other flavors have evolved from them!"
Su Qinxuan interrupted her bluntly: "Shanghai people? Then I have to ask you, who are your target customers? The people of Shanghai or the people of Guangdong?"
Jian Jianan had nothing to say. He lowered his head in front of his mother's clearly written drawing, which meant he was surrendering and admitting his mistake.
Huang Haiyan watched the mother and daughter getting along with each other in surprise. Besides surprise, her eyes were full of envy.
If my mother could be as patient with her daughter as Jian Jianan's mother, I don't know how happy I would be.
Even if she was scolded like this, she would be happy!
Apart from Huang Haiyan, the old masters behind her didn't dare to breathe.
Oh, I really didn't expect that Mr. Jian, who was injured by the knife-wielding man, was so brave and fearless, but when he was in front of Mr. Su, he had to bow his head and obey her. This is what it means to have something to conquer something else!
After Su Qinxuan commented on the taste of the mooncakes, she went out to the production workshop and toured the factory.
Su Qinxuan had already had some ideas about the food processing industry, and during the tour he made many very informative suggestions. Jian Jianan listened on the side, while Huang Haiyan took notes with a notebook, waiting to put these suggestions into practice after the tour.
After the tour, Su Qinxuan and his group said goodbye at the factory gate. Jian Jianan had no intention of accompanying his mother home.
Su Qinxuan did not force her daughter to accompany her. She would discuss a cooperation later, and her daughter had a bigger task to do.
Both mother and daughter have their own battlefields.
"Do a good job!" At the factory gate, Su Qinxuan stared at his daughter Jian Jianan for a long time, and patted her shoulder vigorously to encourage her.
Perhaps, the problems that have plagued the group's development and the wishes she has been working hard for for a long time will be realized one by one in the near future with the help of her daughter.
"I will."
Jian Jianan made his own promise.
Now that the factory has been built, the assembly line production of products will be put on the agenda.
After seeing off his mother and her group at the factory gate, Jian Jianan turned around and went back to the production workshop.
She rolled up her sleeves and surrounded a circle of people with different expressions, all eager to try, especially those old masters with dark complexions and every wrinkle that seemed soaked with frost.
"Comrades, I and the others have cleared all the difficulties for you. Now, it's up to you!"
The factory was built, the production line was set up, and they bought the best facilities and tools within their means.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing!
"Okay, Mr. Jian!"
The leading master was the first to respond and express his attitude.
"Don't worry, I, Old Huang, will definitely give you a good feeling!"
As soon as the first person spoke, the others followed suit.
"That's right, Mr. Jian! We haven't been able to use our skills for a while, and the brothers are all eager to take the stage!"
For a moment, all kinds of words expressing Jian Jianan's determination filled the small room.
Jian Jianan listened patiently to every word, without any intention of interrupting.
After everyone had finished speaking and expressed their determination, she said sternly, "If that's the case, then let's get to work!
On July 15th, the Haokoufu Food Processing Factory was officially put into use.
On July 18, the first food processing production line of Haokoufu Food Processing Factory was officially put into use for the first time.
The first product produced by this production line is a Cantonese-style lotus seed paste and double egg yolk mooncake the size of an adult's palm.
Such a meaningful mooncake was not sent to Jian Jianan, Su Qinxuan or Chen Anguo's office, but was given directly to the head master chef to thank him for his hard work in the past few months to prepare the most suitable mooncake flavor.
Everything was on track, and as they were making various preparations, everyone's heart was filled with confusion and doubt.
Will this flavor really sell well? Will people really like it? Will companies place orders with us?
But in this world, there is nothing that is 100% certain.
Even someone as arrogant as Chen Anguo doesn't dare to make a complete guarantee.
Jian Jianan understood that every decision was a gamble, and until the final results were settled, you would not know which direction things would develop.
But fortunately, she now has the money to take such a gamble.
"How about it?"
Inside the conference room, all the chairs were filled with Haokoufu's management.
Jian Jianan sat in the front chair and tilted his head to look at the production manager on the side.
Production Manager Zhao Lin immediately responded, "Mr. Jian, the three mooncake production lines are now on track. We will complete all production work by the end of this month."
Jian Jianan subconsciously tapped the table lightly with his pen.
"No, it's not enough. Time is running out. This is far from enough."
She thought for a moment and said, "Well, you guys have to complete all the production and packaging work by the end of the month. I want to see them all in the warehouse by the end of the month."
Zhao Lin thought about it, nodded, and agreed with gritted teeth.
Although this task is difficult, it is not impossible to complete.
Besides, Jian Jianan is under the greatest pressure now.
Jian Jianan nodded with satisfaction and turned his gaze to the next department manager.
The meeting was coming to an end, and almost everyone had received the tasks assigned by Jian Jianan.
Just as the meeting was about to end, someone seemed to have some small questions. Perhaps wanting to liven up the atmosphere, they looked up and comforted Jian Jianan: "Mr. Jian, don't be too anxious. The Mid-Autumn Festival is still nearly two months away. We actually have plenty of time. Slow work produces fine results. This is the first product, so a little delay should be okay, right?"
Unexpectedly, Jian Jianan refuted righteously: "No, that's not the case. We must fight a prepared battle. Although these two months seem to be ample time, if you ask me, every procedure has been arranged just right, or even not enough!"
Seeing the disapproving look on the man's face, Jian Jianan continued, "Although the mooncakes have been produced, they still need to undergo product inspection, right? Only after they pass the inspection can they be put into storage? This takes quite a while. And people won't buy the mooncakes immediately after they're produced. Everyone, please think carefully. What kind of mooncakes did you buy during Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years? Were they local, established brands like Rong Ji? Compared to this new, younger brand, which one would you choose?"
This question really stumped everyone. Yes, people are like this. Compared to a new thing, people tend to choose things they are used to.
If they were in a different situation, they would not be employees who love good food. When they saw two brands of mooncakes in the market during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, to be on the safe side, most people would still choose the old brand they are used to buying rather than the new brand.
After all, you don’t know what the new brand of mooncakes taste like, but if you choose an old brand, you don’t need to take this risk.
When Jian Jianan saw that everyone understood, his expression became much more serious than before.
The young people who just graduated from high school and came to work no longer had the giggling look on their faces and felt much more satisfied.
Well, her biggest fear is that she's the only one in the entire company who's taking this seriously. Now that everyone's on high alert, she feels like she doesn't need to worry too much!
After the meeting, Huang Haiyan stayed and said that she had something to report to Jian Jianan.
After the last person left and the door was half-closed, Huang Haiyan spoke up, "Mr. Jian, everything here is going smoothly. Given our vision and everyone's approach, I'm not worried about quality. But, should we put some thought into Mr. Chen's work?"
Mr. Chen, of course, refers to Chen Anguo.
Huang Haiyan's concern is not without reason.
Chen Anguo did cause a lot of trouble to Jian Jianan.
In addition to hiring people to cause trouble at the construction site, he also created many obstacles for Jian Jianan, both openly and covertly, just because he didn't want Jian Jianan to have an easy time and didn't want her to gain a foothold in the Nanbei Group.
Although it has not caused any unpredictable serious consequences to Jian Jianan so far, it is still quite annoying to have a fly or mosquito buzzing in your ear.
Jian Jianan shook his head: "No, I don't think he will this time."
Huang Haiyan was puzzled. "Ah, Mr. Jian, why do you think so? Chen Anguo has a face that shows he has bad intentions. I think he will definitely be behind the mooncake incident and obstruct it!"
Jian Jianan was amused by Huang Haiyan's words. What does it mean to have a face that has bad intentions?
She really knows how to describe people!
"Think carefully, are all the obstacles Chen Anguo has put in my way within the group related to the projects I'm working on? These projects aren't very important. He just wants to do his best to disgust me in every way!"
Jian Jianan had a thorough understanding of Chen Anguo's psychology and could see it clearly. "As for Chen Anguo, he's actually very easy to understand. He just wants to compete with my mother, and now he wants to support his son to take the top position, so he wants to suppress me. But after all, he also invested in Jinhuiju. If Jinhuiju can develop well, he will also be happy to see it succeed. I think the bigger reason he hired people to cause trouble before was that he didn't think this business would develop."
"However, now, thanks to our efforts, this business has taken shape. I believe it will soon be able to be put into production and earn us huge profits. In this case, why not join in?"
Jian Jianan made the final decision: "I think not only will he not obstruct us, he might even provide us with some conveniences!"
Ah, providing convenience? Huang Haiyan curled her lips, not believing Jian Jianan's words at all.
Will Chen Anguo provide them with convenience?
Impossible, impossible, Huang Haiyan doesn’t believe it at all!
But then, the facts gave Huang Haiyan a heavy blow. Chen Anguo seemed... seemed to have really changed?
Thanks to Zhao Lin's efforts, the mooncakes passed the quality inspection and were put into the warehouse.
Jian Jianan, who was building a factory for the first time, did not expect that the warehouse would one day be insufficient. She felt a headache at the thought of having to take time out to solve this problem.
It was Chen Anguo who came up with the solution, asking her to put the goods in a temporary warehouse, thus resolving this matter which was neither big nor small.
So, does Chen Anguo really want to make peace?
